Einstok Arctic Lager (pack of 6) (4.7%)

Einstok Arctic Lager is a crisp Icelandic craft lager brewed at 4.7% ABV and sold as a six-pack of 12 oz bottles. It scored 86 out of 100 on BeerAdvocate and uses cryogenically processed Citra hops and pure Icelandic water sourced near the Arctic Circle. Einstök Ölgerð operates from the Viking Brewery in Akureyri. The beer is built on Munich and Pilsner malts, hopped with Hallertau Tradition for bittering and Citra and Citra Cryo hops during dry hopping. The Citra Cryo hops undergo cryogenic separation into concentrated lupulin. The nose opens with bright grapefruit, orange peel, lime zest, grassy and lightly herbal notes, earthy spice and a clean bready malt backbone. The palate is biscuity and lightly toasty, with fresh malt, citrus, juicy grapefruit, tropical fruit, moderate hop bitterness and mild caramel. The finish is dry, crisp and decidedly bitter, with lingering herbal and grassy hop impressions.
